Course summary

This course is designed to enable students to become confident and reflective readers and is a fantastic way to fuel a passion for literature. Students learn to use critical concepts and terminology with understanding and discrimination. They are encouraged to reflect on their own responses to texts, consider interpretations by other readers and develop awareness of the contexts in which texts were written. Using detailed knowledge and understanding of individual texts, students will explore comparisons and links between them, appreciating the significance of cultural and historical influences upon readers and writers. A variety of study methods are used, and we encourage students to be active participants. The non-examination assessment is an opportunity to follow personal interests and passions. It promotes the skills needed for independent study at University level in a supportive environment. This course requires an enjoyment of reading and the curiosity to explore beyond the set texts.
